Nice condition in the photo. Be a fun club rego beastly.

I do not know if you can get the grey tube but maybe use black if needed. Simply cut the old one off carefully, so you don't nip any wires. If you use a very small jewellers flat screwdriver - you can release each wire as it enters a connection block. Best to do a drawing of what goes where first. Then slide the new cover on the group of wires. Put wires back into connector and make sure it is correct way up and the little tab on the wire end is up so it can engage the connector. Pull each wire to make sure it has been secured into the connector block. Connect to the loom and you check operation to endure its all good. This can be done with a voltmeter or even just a wire and bulb. I don't remember the loom on a 70 model but the basics are all the same. Some looms will actually require you to split the loom where it branches out and often includes wires that are soldered together. That is a pain but just takes time to resolder. Just make sure any soldering efforts do not shorten any wires too much, as that can cause problems if the loom becomes too taut when installed. Esp around the headstem ends. Don't forget to inspect each wire for faults, burn marks, corrosion or brittleness. Also clean them and the ends well. Any areas that are not covered in tube, use a self amalgamated tape on. It self seals and provides a water tight closure. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask anything else. What model is it? Tx 500? Cheers Phil

The correct term is propaganda with a big dose of sport to keep the masses distracted.

That makes sense. Remove all the goodness

Agreed. Have done lots of wiring on my bikes over the years. Old looms are a constant cause of frustration. Highly likely it has a corroded wire inside the covering. Gives off dodgy readings and needs to be replaced. First try running a new wire from the sender to the gauge and see if that helps. If so replace your loom whilst your at it or that part at least. Only ever use quality tinned wire.

Sadly the high pole is already melting and very quickly. Meanwhile Iceland just lost a glacier. But Scomo said f....k you to the pacific

True to form. Never miss a opportunity to brutalise. Dog made him do it.

What's the problem with it?

And the way it should be. As in you should never have prior notice of any compliance inspection. Or the non compliant just fudge it and comply knowing you are coming. Then continue to break law after you leave. But yes it is a burden on the copper.

Anton Checkov. The most recent actor to play him died after his jack fell whilst under his car. Bugger

Remember them well. My cousins ex husband was the importer cum dealer for International trucks and farm equipment plus some related brands. Very big business in the country in 60_70's . was solvent even in drought times. Then got involved with the above dodgy bank for finance. Went down like a rock in Sydney's under the harbour tax schemes. I bet he could watch it all sink from his harbour mansion. Complete wipeout, all staff lost jobs, all assets gone into the wind. Amazing what happens when dodgy tax schemes get ahead of paying tax and running a business. Must have hurt knowing his money went to fund drugs, guns and reported mercenaries. I must admit he had a big collection of cars and bling, that probably didn't help. Neither did his wife's habit of running into other boats in her massive cruiser. Not to mention some divers she ran over.

Don't forget. You have to burn down the gunshop and regularly threaten the life of the owner and his family. And remove any government funding for any state or aid to any country that dare teach about gun safety.

Use a kiwi black flag not a unionjack blue one, often mistaken for our flag.

Putin has no reason not to be charming and nice in public. He knows he will get what he wants, when he wants and from who he wants. All psychopathic dictators like to smile in public.

And don't forget who has constantly pushed for it..... The LNP lead by Abbott the mad monk and its side kick Crosby of election distortion fame. Did such a good job the knighted him. Also the same firm in the Cambridge Facebook scandal. And the nut jobs just had a propaganda fest here in Sydney.

Its a worry. Even more so when they have that weird pyramid with a secret society feel about it. What is that?

Not just backbones, they need a actual IQ injection, a heart and a huge dose of ethics.

Anyone who thinks the private market can do the work of government is either deluded, after a quick buck or trying to reduce regulation controls for their benefit. Just look at the curent government, they outsource everything they can. The knowledge is lost, the experts disappear and the responsibility is buck passed. And it costs more to do less. Simple maths and basic economics, you can not do the same work add in a big profit and do it for the same cost. Something always suffers and its the public.

Anytime a government say " if you have nothing to hide......." We should be very worried, that has long been the maxim of fascist states. You know men in black shirts with faces covered, big guns and a overarching super ministry controlling the populace. Just like .....our new " home affairs". There is a reason the uniform is black and they are Border Force not service.

Cotton irrigation is quickly killing the whole area. And has killed many a farmer with the sprays. Many get stomach cancer, very nasty. My pop died from it and he was not alone. We are using very precious water for a crop you can't eat and covering with chemicals to create a bio desert. My family were sheep farmers all the way back to the 1830s. When I said don't be a copper, it was not boredom but sheer danger. My niece's husband was highway patrol- great bloke always getting in shit for not fineing but rather just talking to motorists. He was patrolling Griffith to Hay until recently and done solo. Problem been - never pull over a car until you have radioed its plate and get feedback. All should be dual police per car out there. The danger is often extreme. The drug running is the problem, often with two or more armed blokes. A car full of cash or drugs and no intent on getting caught or giving up. They do big operations sometimes but normally it is just a cop on his own and no help for up to 2 hours. You can only run the gauntlet for so long and your luck will run out. Probably 100 times more dangerous than anywhere in Australia. Big money, ice, bikies and guns. Its a bit Like the wild west. Now he has married and a father, its no job for a family man or anyone with a expectation of a long healthy life. So he has left and gets to live another day.... Its still Hell out at Hay, its just hidden now.

We wish Nev, we could only wish. They have a independent government and a great leader.

Yep footbrawl did seem to loom large in the shadows. Lots of makeup teams from shearing sheds. Just what the powderkeg needed, a heap of real thirsty shearers, two weeks since a bender, a pocket full of cash and a love of gentlemen's entertainment. Queensbury rules my butt, I hadn't realised how much shearers love a good brawl and the bloody rivalry between some sheds. But if one shearer got a thump from a local, they all ganged together. You would not want to be the local copper, not then and not now.

That's it then, we need to find that mongrel Dog and chop his balls off. He has really farked everything up.

And people wonder why I don't like guns? I know guns don't kill people....... F.....wits with guns do

As a lad I spent many a holiday in a far distant land that had a little resemblance to Dimboola. Family would come from far and wide for a wedding.......damn that would be exciting. All those relatives, all that grog, life long bones to pick and a plethora of guns. But you had to get there first with no guarantee of leaving. If you managed to not meet Skippy and his mob in the kingswood on the plains, a exciting time lay ahead. Even better was the bus as Skippy exploded across the front. Naturally I speak of Hay. From Hay you can look anywhere and find Hell and just down road is Booligal. Hence the term Hay , Hell and Booligal. A town with from memory had 600 people, at least 10 pubs and 200 Ute's with very angry hunting dogs. All good, no worries mate, just chill and have a drink....relax. Until I realised there is only a few things to do in Hay...... Rooting- most likely someone else's girl. Fighting- over the girl or from losing a bet on who would bed the girl. Followed up by some friendly shooting. Generally the lads would just lay waste to some poor buggers car, but some went for long walks..... Hay is a particularly attractive spot for transporting drugs to cities. Initially from the Griffith area, think Donald Mckay and today from Adelaide etc and is ice land. I spent most my school holidays in Hay. The safest thing I ever did was go to Maude weir fishing........... With a stick of dynamite. I was only a bloody kid for firetrucks sake. Hell is meant to be after you die. Kids should not have to milk cows Early in the morning either. The chickens, I could chop heads etc, But milking ........ Maybe it was because I had to go to the neighbours to do it. He was the bloody stonemason, undertakers, grave digger and engineer. A sea of headstones in mist had to be negotiated to get to the milking. I was only a 8 year old lad. Would have felt so much safer in ...anywhere. Maude tended to be safe most days. The barmaid was well known, for the pump action under the counter. Mexicans on shooting trips were often trigger happy. Little wonder, holidays were interesting........
